MARINE LAYER REVERB

Thank you for purchasing the Marine Layer
Reverb—a versatile, easy-to-use and richly
featured digital reverb. It delivers six high-quality
reverb models, with advanced features such as a
Dry Kill switch for use with amplifiers with parallel
effects loops. The Marine Layer also offers
buffered bypass operation, in which the
footswitch allows reverb tails to fade out naturally
when the pedal is turned off.

DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.

Reverb Time

This control adjusts the reverb decay time, or length of the reverb
signal. Counterclockwise settings produce smaller room and ambient
sounds, while settings closer to fully clockwise can produce the sound
of huge spaces and ethereal drones. Try playing with the Damping
and Filter controls with higher reverb time settings.

Level

This control adjusts how much reverb is mixed in with the dry signal.
No reverb is present in the fully counterclockwise position. In the fully
clockwise position, the wet-dry mix is about 50/50. When Dry Kill is
active and this control is fully counterclockwise, no output is
produced. This is normal.

Damping

This control affects the decay of the reverb signal. When fully
counterclockwise, reverb gets darker as it fades out; when fully
clockwise, reverb decays more evenly. Lower settings can help
prevent muddiness.

Pre Delay

The Pre Delay control adds an adjustable amount of delay before the
reverb decay. This is useful to add clarity in that the pre-delay
provides a slight separation between the original guitar note and the
reverb signal.

Type Switch

This switch selects Hall, Room or Special algorithms for the main
reverb.

Variation Switch

This switch toggles between two variations for each reverb type
selection (see “Algorithm Descriptions” section).

Filter Switch

The Filter switch decreases treble frequencies in the reverb signal and
can make any setting sound warmer and less obtrusive. Both switch
settings can be used in combination with various Damping control
settings to get the desired amount of brightness or warmth.
